Dating Indonesian women may not be for everyone.
Indonesian women, particularly on the island of Java, are exceptionally beautiful. They tend towards the very feminine side, with lovely skin, are not too tall, and have knock-out smiles. There’s plenty of plus on that side of things.
If wer’e to be honest we have to recognise that many men are interested in a woman who will take care of him, do the housework without complaint, and take care of other matters similarly without much bother. Your average Indonesian girl often fits the bill in this respect, certainly more than your average western woman, the less said about them the better.
On the other hand going out with Indonesian women in a romantic way can have many mysterious pitfalls.
Some women here are clearly only interested in money. Some men are unbothered by this. Others of the female variety, can, once we get to know them very well, come across as practically insane, hysterically emotional, scheming, over-possessive, inclined to, usually fake, attempts at self-harm in order to get their way. As I said, not for the faint-hearted.
There are a few Indonesia dating websites although the area is not nearly as developed as that in nearby Phillipines or Thailand. To begin your online journey on the Indonesian dating scene our very own “Meet” section has many a lady eager for company.
Wow. Getting steamy around here in just one night…
I just read Bobby’s posting. And what I got is that the girl is simply just a desperate insecure girl. I haven’t seen indication that she’s after your pocket or green card, at least not yet, except if you let yourself fall for the first time. And if this is what she’s looking for for you, well, I can say that she’s doing her homework pretty bad. Because it won’t attract the prey, instead it gives a hint to him to withdraw and gone.
What’s probably easier to calculate is that if you haven’t had sex with the lady you are courting within the space of one month…. chances are, she’s getting it elsewhere!

Honestly, it doesn’t take very long to hook up if there’s chemistry there.

Agree. But maybe it is a little bit different with Indonesian women. We are very aware and concerned on what other people saying about us. Premarital sex generally is not accepted socially although recent studies show that they are more permissive. I have some friends that prefer to be old virgin ladies than doing premarital sex. And some Indonesian men (again, I do not generalize) also have the same concern in their mind. They will see women who cannot hold theirs as cheap. They still try to score it too, but after that, they leave the women. That’s why not much Indonesian women able to be honest about this. And honestly, it happened to me too. After two-three weeks, I started to be bitchy; nagging, yelling, unreasonable, and detached. Because I didn’t want to admit that I wanted my bf more than just a romantic dinner. It felt so shameful. I even was fasting so I had more reason to stay away from him and relieved when finally we broke up. I could not bear the pressures, both from social or religion.
Hey guys,
WOW sorry i havnt written in a while been busy but ya im really suprised by the amount of comments recieved by my one post! LOL thanks for all the advice guys it really helps me put things in perspective but of course i still have some concerns. To answer some of ur questions i met her through a friend of mine here in surabaya so i guess thats better then meeting her in a pub or bar which of course i know thats not good and most of those girls are bitches or whores (no offence to anyone just the way that ppl just girls that hang out in bars and drink and smoke etc)and she is a nice girl. We had just had an argument when i wrote that so i was a bit pissed of and just need a second opinion from someone. Just my concern with her is that she “might” be using me for money or green card but im not really sure thats her intention cause even as bad as our arguments have gotten she has still come back to me and seemed faithful. But of course no relationship is perfect and i do believe one day she will see my true colours and even though she loves me she will eventually run to someone else but that could just be my paranoid thoughts. Now of course this might or might not be relaevant but when we first started dating we talked about sex and she told me she didnt want to have sex b4 marriage and i respected that thinking it was normal thing here but 4 months later for either the reason that she truly fell in love with me, or for the reason shes trying to make me think shes in love with me, we did. But the weird thing in this country is and makes me realize that the ppl here are a bit (forgot the word) and say one thing but mean another. for example with the sex: girls are not to have sex b4 marriage or are considered whores or bitches but for men its ok thats wat ive heard from ppl so who are the boys meant to have sex with? obviously not each other (but if thats ur thing ok) and not with prostitutes then with their gf right? But wat makes me maddest of all and wat venna said was that the guys have sex with these girls and then leave them cause their too easy? are u fu**ng serious? thats so stupid and small minded idiocrasy!!!
but ya anyway cheers guys and sorry if i write too much lol

@ brian A
I have a theory about that and it might be stupid or wat but mostly when i see skinny or attractive girls with fat bf i immediately think that she just putting her hand in his pants and grabbing all his money…..now that could be stereotypical but about 90% of the time its true and the guys dont care cause they look “cool” and they get wat they want until they find another girl or watever happens. humm ya anyway ill see what happens and if anyone got anymore theories or coments id like to read. really like this website good to express ur views with others. Just a general question for u all and just for my curiosity where are you ppl from and where are you living? its ok if u dont want to tell just fun to know. I live in surabaya indonesia and from melbourne australia.
But wat makes me maddest of all and wat venna said was that the guys have sex with these girls and then leave them cause their too easy? are u fu**ng serious? thats so stupid and small minded idiocrasy!!!

@Nay,
Who wants a sexless relationship?
——————————————–
On the top of my head….
A self respected girl who wants to be sure that the man really loves her and not her body only..
I can wait until marriage, and any serious guy who cares about me should also wait until marriage.
Yeah that’s why I married my Indonesian man, he can hold himself until we got married. He was not a very religious man and he was certainly not a virgin at the moment we were dating.
But he respects my value, he protected me. That’s a real gentleman, only few men can do that.
I see the quality of man from how they can hold themselves, their moral and religious value, leadership and responsibility.

Mate, we are in total allignment. There are potentially some lucky girls out there in waiting FOR US TO APPROACH.
Well, if all she needs to do is open the door to let you burst in, you’ll surely get laid quicker than the guy that’s meandering about in his pleasure palace. Unless her room is within his palace and you couldn’t get past his guards. Although you could apply some ninja tactics by climbing the boundary walls and infilitrate the women’s chambers.
To clear up any confusion I must ammend what I said before, in that it is ASSUMED you will have a “breakthrough” if you simply keep the pressure on. But it is also clear that I mean it is NOT assumed, because I clearly state that it is the egg that only LETS one in. That is, SHE chooses. So Nay, we have no conflict here.
One thing I am certain of now, looking back on the experience with the girl I “chased” before, is that in reality I was not that into her anyway. Maybe 90%. There was just something a little bit unnattractive about her that didn’t quite jell with me. So no matter how hard you push you can’t put a square peg in a round hole (and to beat you to it, no, I don’t have a square schlong).
This is where we need to step it up a little and have some standards in play guys. It’s time we got picky.
